Description: "Spain's most celebrated dramatist Federico Garci;a Lorca (1898-1936) was murdered by Nationalist sympathizers shortly after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. This volume of translations by Gwynne Edwards contains five plays, four of which--The Shoemaker's Wonderful Wife, The Love of Don Perlimpli;n, The Puppet Play of Don Cristóbal, and The Butterfly's Evil Spell--represent the attractive comic strand in Lorca's work and his use of the traditions of farce and puppet play; the fifth, When Five Years Pass, belongs to Lorca's surrealist phase and is one of his most striking and original contributions to the theatre"--Publisher.
Notes: Translated from the Spanish.
